Compile in Cygwin 1.1.4

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Postgres 7.0.2 in Cygwin 1.1.4 in a Windows NT 4.0
system.

I've configured with the template provided to cygwin, and I get the
following error in the compilation process:

gcc -g -o postgres.exe -Wl,--base-file,postgres.base postgres.exp
access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o
executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o
nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o
regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o
utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -L/usr/local/lib -lcygipc -lcrypt -lcygwin
-lkernel32

utils/SUBSYS.o(.text+0x42ec7):elog.c: undefined reference to `_sys_nerr'
utils/SUBSYS.o(.text+0x438a5):exc.c: undefined reference to `_sys_nerr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [postgres] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/source/src/backend'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I was unable to resolve this error. I suppose the problem resides in the
Cygwin implementation, the _sys_nerr is an external variable in the .c files
(elog.c and exc.c)  that should reside in the cygwin.dll ! (I'v tried to
understand the comments in version.h)

Anyone have experienced something like this? I suppose I should install a
previous version of Cygwin.


Thanks,
Pedro Machado

Apply the patch posted here yesterday by Jason Tishler "[PORTS]
Building PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on Cygwin 1.1.5".

Instructions for building on NT are available at

    <http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html>

The copy of the patch there is not quite up to date but that will be
sorted soon, hopefully.

See my post from yesterday:

    http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/mhonarc/pgsql-ports/2000-11/msg00093.html

And then use the following instructions:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html

with the following modifications:

    1. install Cygwin 1.1.5 instead of 1.1.4
    2. skip Install PostgreSQL 7.0.3 step #6, it is no longer necessary
       with 1.1.5
    3. use my latest patch instead of the one mentioned in Install
       PostgreSQL 7.0.3 step #7

In the future, please try searching the archives first...

Thanks,
Jason
